Written by on in Stadler Rail, Stadler Rail KISS, Stadler Rail KISS MAV

815 001 and 815 002 are the first two Stadler KISS EMUs for MÁV. Last week, they were officially presented by the operator. Now, it’s time to start the trials.

We thank Dani Szabó for sharing his pictures with us. Check out his Instagram for more railway photos from Hungary.

It’s testing time for the Stadler KISS for MÁV Start. As Railcolor News informed earlier, two trainsets will be used for the trials in Germany and the Czech Republic.

On 18.07.2019 Dani Szabó caught a special train to Slovakia; Rail Cargo Hungaria’s Taurus 1116 002 and both 815 001 and 002.

The special train departed from Dunakeszi in Hungary towards Rajka, which is a station at the Hungarian-Slovak border. We expect that afterwards it followed towards the Czech Republic where tests are expected to begin soon.
